It's dividend income update time. One of my favorite times of the month as I get to review my previous month of passive income received from my dividend income portfolios.
After making eight separate buys in the month of June, July finished with a more tempered two buys as I added to my existing positions in Dover Corporation (DOV) and The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD). No doubt the extra buys made in June will start paying dividends in the next couple of months and, as always, I'm eager to track my year over year increases in dividend income. July was an interesting month for my taxable and ROTH accounts as a special dividend of $16.50 a share was paid to all Kraft stockholders. This added an additional $897.27 in my taxable account and $552.02 in my ROTH. With that being said, let's take a look at my July regular dividends received.
Dividend income from my taxable account totalled $244.93 up from $152.69 an increase of 60.4%from July of last year.
Dividend income from my ROTH account totalled $112.15 up from $38.12 an increase of 194.2% from this time last year.
Dividend income from my IRA account totalled $0.00 equal to $0.00 from this time last year.
